Let's be upfront. The original publisher of Kaiju Rising: Age of Monsters had an extremely bumpy past with Kickstarters.

In an effort to keep it as simple as possible, we're running a very streamlined campaign:

No fancy stretch goals. No crazy add-ons. Just books.

We're not gonna bog down this campaign with lots of variables. We want to deliver a quality product, on time, on budget, and exceed expectations.

This book will be over 500 pages of giant, stompy, city-wrecking monster fun!

Risks and challenges

Q: What is a Tuckerization?
Tuckerization is the act of using a person's name as an in-joke or reference in a story. For the Kaiju Rising 2 Tuckerizations, only the name can be specified, and must be approved by the Outland Publications staff.

Q: Can Outland Publications handle this project?
Outland has run or managed a number of Kickstarters and we've learned a lot from them (frequently the hard way). We have a new, experienced, project management team, with Kickstarter fulfillment history and reputation. This is a simpler project with some nuances, but we're prepared to handle them, and we're shooting for the same exceptional success we've already had!

Q: What if the text isn't finished?
A: Everyone we're working with is a professional. There's no risk of text or art not being done. That being said, if the worst happens, we have back ups identified.

Q: What if the complexity of the project overwhelms Outland?
A: We have straight forward pledge levels to make it easy to manage, and we've budgeted our stretch goals up to our cap. In order to keep the project manageable for our small team, we've elected to have no stretch goals.

Q: Increase in shipping costs?
A: Shipping costs constantly rise, and while we've projected them to the best of our abilities, there's not a lot we can do if they change. However, due to the limitations on the size of our product, we're confident this won't be an issue.

Q: What if something happens to the principals?
A: If something were to happen to anyone on the project, we've identified our backups, and our team is spread all over the world. It'd take a really big asteroid, zombie apocalypse or alien invasion to wipe us all out. The files and plans have been communicated to the whole team, and a new project lead (who has been identified) will step up.
